A shelf from gash mdf for the nearside locker under the bottom bunk in the truck:




Crane remote control lower left, socket set, cordless drill and bits, hacksaw, and various tools lower right, spare air and electric lines and 40’ hose and tyre inflator on top. Took about an hour and 3 pots of tea , while I sat at a cricket club near Bradford after refusing to drive almost 40 tons of loaded lorry off the end of a temporary track onto grass that 13 stone of driver sunk into...

13 stone of driver

Is that allowed in lorry driver circles? (Or cafes?)

Not sure that image will clarify it. The slots are for phones, my phone is in the left hand slot being charged. It uses these universal connectors. it has micro USB, USB "C" and apple dongles that you plug in your phone so all the phones in the house can use the same cable. They are magnetic and have a small LED in the leads.

Spare dongles on the inside of the cabinet in case we get visitors who need to charge up.

And the console below the phone charger is a 7" touch sensitive panel with a Raspberry Pi and a hi-fi Berry on the back. I'm just using it for attaching to the NAS for our ripped CDs plus Internet radio at the moment but I will be putting Spotify on it, plus it has Bluetooth so should be able to stream from Phones but will need some services enabled, shouldn't be too difficult.....

it will also connect to the heating controls etc. or general Internet browsing. The amp plays through to mini Cambridge Audio speakers, sounds great, much better working in the kitchen now. I did have this working in a standalone console that I made but it looked incongruous in the kitchen so I may get another screen and amp and re-purpose it in the workshop.

Cheers

I like that a lot

Takes the edge off things! That on top of CELIA Organic Premium Czech Lager. Both from Lidl. Not so keen on the Baltika lager though...5.7%...

I've only recently gone to that from 30", and I'm in my early 70s - I'm one of those lucky folk who can eat what they like but seldom gain weight.
It has been said of me that there's more meat on a butcher's pencil.
